Here's a non-biased opinion of who won the KD trade:
Revisiting the Kevin Durant trade: Have the Rockets or Suns benefited most?

Not sure if others are able to read it or not. The bottom line is that it was pretty much win-win but maybe slightly in the Suns favor and it also depends on how the Rockets do in the playoffs. Very similar to our heightened expectations after acquiring the Big Unbothered.

to be fair if the suns make the playoffs and the rockets don't win a round, then the suns will look better off from the trade.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Jan 22, 2026 12:01 pmHere's a non-biased opinion of who won the KD trade:

Suns now tied with Houston for #4 in the west and are in first place in their division (for all that's worth anymore).

What a night, Rockets, Wolves, Lakers and Warriors all lost.
With how hard we play every game I wouldnt be surprised we attack the 3rd seed finally.

While I watched a few minutes of a Rocket game the other night I realized the difference with not having KD anymore.
We surely miss his shooting, which is still incredible. However, when he does miss a shot, make a bad pass or a teammate makes a bad play he seems to just hesitate for a moment in disbelief. The current group just tries to make a play whether in be a rebound or getting their fanny back on defense. I expect that is what coach Ott demands while Book and Dillon set the tone on the court. If KD would still be here, Book would not be leading the band.
I wonder how we would be with KD still here and Ott as his coach. We would be missing Dillon but Green and Maluach have not played.
Would our record bet better, the same or worse?
Don't get me wrong, I love this team and I think we are now in good shape for the future. KD's addition to Houston does not appear to be going as great as it was projected to be. Talent is not always everything, but they should be very good in the playoffs.

What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

Sam Amick saying we have interest in Miles Bridges but Charlotte looking for a 1st. Could be a recycling rumor since we've supposedly had interest the past few seasons.
Re: Suns News: Week 14 (1/19 - 1/25)
We just have a decade-long project of bringing every Charlotte big man here.
